DSE QuadraLink Rear Suspension Kit - 3in Axle - Double-Adjustable Shocks (041722-DDS) - 1982 - 1992 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Take the rear suspension of your 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird far beyond the factory torque-arm configuration with the Detroit Speed QUADRALink Rear Suspension Kit. Engineered as Detroit Speed's most advanced rear suspension system for the third-generation F-Body, the QUADRALink replaces the original torque-arm layout with performance-focused 4-link geometry designed for significantly improved handling, rear axle control, and suspension tunability. All suspension links are independently adjustable, giving serious street and performance builds the flexibility needed to properly dial in the rear suspension.
The 041722-DDS configuration is designed for 3-inch axle tubes and includes weld-on axle brackets along with double-adjustable JRi shocks. These shocks provide two independent adjustments and an extensive tuning range, allowing suspension response to be matched to the driver and performance demands while maintaining excellent street ride quality. Upper and lower links incorporate Detroit Speed's Swivel-Link technology for smooth suspension articulation, while the adjustable track bar uses cross-axis pivot bushings for precise lateral axle control. The kit also adds upper link mounts to the stock unibody structure and relocates the lower links on the axle using adjustable adapter brackets.
